The release of âBartier Cardiâ and Bruno Marsâs âFinesse (Remix) [Feat. Cardi B],â the latter of which is now certified 2x platinum, Cardi B made history yet again, surpassing BeyoncĂ© as the first woman to have five top 10 singles simultaneously on the âHot R&B/Hip-Hop Songsâ chart. Cardi B has received a stunning series of top honors, among them two GRAMMYÂź nods (for âBest Rap Performanceâ and âBest Rap Songâ), two BET Awards nominations (for âBest New Artistâ and âBest Female Hip Hop Artistâ), a Soul Train Music Award, and five 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards including âSingle of the Year,â âBest New Hip Hop Artist,â âHustler of the Year,â âMade-You-Look Award,â and âBest Mixtape.â  Cardi B received the most nominations for the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards with 12 mentions, winning three awards. She also tied with Drake for the most nominations at the 2018 American Music Awards.
